Conditional format

[Guest]

I am trying to highlight cells that match

ie

a b c d e f g
6 0 4 5 6 8 5
2 5 2 3 7 9


I want, if 5 is placed in the g cell (whatever line, lets say line 1) it
will highlight the d cell in line 1 and the b cell in line 2.

Am I making sense?

Hi

highlight from A1 to F2
choose format / conditional formatting
choose formula is
type
=A1=$G$1
...press the format button - choose formatting OK twice

Select A1 to F2, then,

<Format> <ConditionalFormat>,
And choose "Formula Is", and enter this:

=A1=$G$1

Then choose your format, <OK> <OK>

And you should get what you asked.
